This is the place for Blueboard members to inform SCBWI's design/programming/website team of any issues, problems, glitches or discrepancies they are noticing on SCBWI's website or the Blueboard since the merger with Verla Kay's Blueboard. Please give as much information about the problem as you can.

Here's the place to share tips and information about using your computers for writing and illustrating and it's also the place to talk about building websites, using the internet for promoting books, etc. Please use the URL's boards for listing specific URL's that don't pertain to these topics.

Blueboard Member News

This board is for all writing and illustrating good news pertaining to children's literature − book birthdays, book sales, magazine acceptances, agents, awards, professional journal reviews, etc. Please be sure you have at least five quality posts before sharing your good news here.

Here's the place to post news about covers, trailers, launch parties, blogger & internet reviews, giveaways, etc. Note: We don't want your post counts to go up and down like a yo-yo, so posts here do not count towards your post total because these posts are periodically purged from the board in order to make way for more current posts. Plus, for those of you who have just joined the board, new members must have at least 5 "quality" posts before posting here, and preferably more. It's usually a good idea to spend some time in the community before jumping right in and promoting yourself or your book. Give us all a chance to know you, and then we'll be happy to celebrate with you. Thank you!

However, to cut down on some of the drive-by posting we have seen, we ask that you wait to post your news/events until you have at least five quality posts elsewhere on the board. Thank you!
